I had started working on a list that was a combination of one by
GulPlum and some others. I don't have the in-depth commentary the
first post has, but I have listed the page(s)(US edition, sorry,
couldn't take the time to cross-reference my UK edition) where I
thought each prediction was reasonably met.
Some predictions do not have a page notation or a "no" behind them.
There were some, like Hermione playing chess, that I thought I
remembered reading, but can't seem to find now.
I started by trying to note the first appearance of a prediction
coming "true", but then had to just find the one I remembered most.
I'm sure I got some of them wrong, especially the no's.
